A Smoky Mountain HI

Here is a journey I make each day. Time flows on this side of eternity. I have aged as gracefully as reasonable as can be be expected, and yet feel not a day older in my mind. As I begin a life in the Smoky Mountains I hope you will share my journey as well. www.kleincabin.com

It is when facts are mingled with deceit that the greatest deceptions occur.
If you are compelled to rely on the judgments of another, let it be that of God.
Peace and passion are not enemies, in fact, they often breed each other.
One’s passion for wrong never alters what is right.
Every grave is filled with either fear or Faith.

A martyr cannot verify a truth or nullify one; and love can bear its witness…but still cannot change it.
A good hearted man can do good; a Christian heart must do good.
Sincerity never alters truth.
A grave is no reason to defend a belief…an empty grave?…now that may well be one.
Surrounding yourself with good men, does not make you good; just less likely for you to do bad.

Hate is the pervert of loneliness.
Who is the happiest; the giver or the receiver?
Doubt is pre-fear….Faith is pre-belief.
There is random kindness and purposeful kindness; both should become your daily habit.
One cannot believe a lie enough to make it the truth.

Somewhere in the process of giving we end up receiving.
Sharing a cup of kindnesses someone is like pouring a bit of love into their soul.
Kindness brings little retribution.
Generosity is giving more than you need too.
A perfect day must involve doing some for another that can never be repaid.

The greatest achievement you will make in life will be, in some manner, helping someone else.
Love gives more; pride takes more.
Kindness mends the heart like little else.
Love avenges misery.
Generosity that cost you little, is more of a gift than generosity.

An act of kindness is the most useful form of revenge.

Happiness is the runoff of joy.
Happiness is a choice, a determination, and a responsibility for Christians.
Helping others always benefits you as well as them.
While helping others be wary of an attack of happiness.
Daily praise welcomes the Father into your day.
 "Systematic happiness" come from faith love and charity.
You will be doing what He wants, if you are dong what His Word says

When I analyze thoughts I realize most of them are thoughtless.
Often when I “weed out my thoughts” there is little left to talk about.
Your thoughts are traps set to capture ideas. Ideas plus hope equal success.
Changing your thinking will change you vision of your5self and of others.
"The truth is".....and few what to know it, and fewer yet want to follow it and no one wants to be judged by it....
It is not what some gives you it is that they choose to give it to you; that is the real value of every gift.

If you delight in “good deed” you will always busy and welcome.

It is what I fear that I manage the worst.
It is our foundation that usually causes failure or success.
The "thought only counts" if the good deed follows.
Finding the answer is much more difficult than finding an excuse.
Writing is expressing what you are thinking, with clarity and brevity, that is why it is so difficult.
The success of a failure is if you learned.

Every act of kindness is an amazing gift...for you to receive or give.
You will never be better than you choose to be.
Standing in the midst of the crowd requires little character; standing alone requires huge character.
In order to get to where I could be, I need to be what I should be.
Truth spends more time being clarified rather than being applied.

Christians are not God; but must be His reflection.
Your life is just long enough for you to find God.
It is such an amazing thing to be loved by someone who does not have to.
Have you ever noticed how kind folks become when you are about to leave?
When life is over I want it to say that I embraced the Grace of God with vigorous love.

The death of doubt is the believer’s personal paradise.
A self-centered culture will always lead to moral failure.
Who are we to value the worth of another man?
The right to do wrong is not a right.
 The right to do right is not a right; it is a commandment and a responsibility.

It  is not good enough for your principles to be based on the truth; they must be true.
It just as wrong to do wrong as it is not to do what is right.
Believer are to be God’s “visible love, hope, and charity“.
The Christian life is abundant life, filed with completed and completing promises from God.
Eternal life is more than a never-ending journey but it is one saturated with the presence of God.

The marriage commitment:  "I am yours and you are mine; we will get over all problems in time."
The Christian commitment: " I am your and You are mine and noting is impossible with You."
The worker commitment:     "My job is to make you successful."
The leaders commitment:     "My success is your success."
The parent commitment:       "We love you unconditionally."
The adopting parent commitment : " God choose to give you life, for us."

The guy rowing the boat backwards may be leading in the right direction.
Cushion and fear are related like optimism and pessimism.
You are only as good as the God you work for.
Leadership without mercy damages everyone it touches.
Grace is not a theological question; it is a gift from God to every believer.
Salvation is a gift that cannot be earned, but the quality and the effectiveness of our Christian life is mostly depends how we choose to remain and abide in the Vine. John 15:4

The worst thing about being a conservative is that it makes you judgmental the worst thing about being a liberal is that it makes you judgmental.
If you do not have faith in what you believe; you don’t  actually believe it.
A leader creates consensus.
Finding fault will never replace finding a remedy.
Leadership is not a matter of being liked or being praised but leadership is getting the right result for their purposes, themselves and their workers.

If you do not have the Faith "to do"; you do not have Faith at all.
Every opportunity is an change for the redistribution of power.
Every Christian walks through a jungle of troubled lives.
Leadership without Devine direction, only has only selfishness as a purpose.
Every Christian is becoming a masterpiece of Grace.
Character is integrity in action.

The better someone feels about themselves, while working for you, the harder they will work.
God’s desire for you is to be successful at being yourself.
Be wary of those who constantly want to sow bad in the midst of good.
It is not if you have prayed enough; it is who you prayed to, that will matter in the end.
It is when God is with you that you are free to be who you can be.
